agents of the state faccia a faccia col nemico [face to face with the enemy], to borrow the title of deportee Luigi
Galleani's collection of insurrectionary writings (Mentana, 1914). The resulting transcripts reveal four main strategies
employed by detainees, each of which engaged with discourses of national belonging and citizenship in
different ways.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tqivecfrk4zssha3jlutw4ae/bafkreibug7tgvsukprbr6j2vfbfxu2q2zfx3znt2c764efifdoih2x5ecy)
